Re: Public Claims vs. Private Recruitment: The Lord's Recovery Campus Work

Well-reasoned! I appreciate the thoughtful clarity here.
Along with everything you mentioned, I find that the Shepherding Words apologists often simply redefine terms for their own convenience....

Re: InconvenientRuth

We're glad you're here, Ruth! I so appreciate all the work you've been putting into your videos. That takes so much courage given the way the LC leadership habitually responds to anyone publicly...

Re: Does anyone still care?

That's good to hear as I hate to think of so many consciences having become numb to the things you mentioned and that many of us witnessed. As someone who's not been there for a while, may I ask...

Re: Open Letter - Dear Saints in the Lord's Recovery - Joann Casteel

ACuriousFellow (welcome, by the way!), I’ve had similar thoughts. When I read the ShepherdingWords website that came out in the wake of the Casteels’ letter, it had the opposite effect on me as what...

Re: LC doctrine and practice through the lens of God's love and hatred for

Yes, I understand the teaching about the nations. That is one interpretation of who Jesus is referring to, it's what's in the RcV, and it may be the correct one. I don't see it personally in my...

Re: LC doctrine and practice through the lens of God's love and hatred for

Great summary. Thanks for taking the time to articulate the spectrum and its dangers, including the specific ways this plays out in LC teaching and practice. The 1000-year-kingdom threat is an apt...

Re: LSM: To observe Christmas, its doubtful you’re a new creation

Here is a quote from theologian Alexander Schmemann that fleshes it out a bit.

Re: LSM: To observe Christmas, its doubtful you’re a new creation

Thanks for posting those quotes, Zezima. As ridiculous as they are (yet very typical of WL's hyperbolic style), it does help me to better understand why not celebrating Christmas was a hill that so...

Re: Quote From Today's Watchman/Witness Wednesday

gr8ful, I’ve had a similar experience (both the negative and the positive you mentioned).

By the way, I found C.S. Lewis’ book “The Four Loves” to be a helpful exploration of the various...

Re: LSM Launching an App

I was watching the LR Unchained video on abuse, in which the speaker unpacks that rather appalling Life Study from Genesis on Noah and deputy authority, and I thought, “And people are supposed to...

Oy vey.

SO MUCH one could respond to here.

Re: Quote From Today's Watchman/Witness Wednesday

I’m not sure which is more horrific — the quote itself or the fact that nearly 300 people “liked” or Amen-ed it on Facebook.😱

(And this is an example of why the protestations on Shepherding Words...

Re: Choreographed, military-style exercises at Taipei airport in 1980s

So funny. I don’t remember seeing that particular performance (which would certainly have gone viral on YouTube, posted by a bemused bystander, if that were a thing back then). But it sounds exactly...

Re: YouTube Channel - The Lord's Recovery Unchained

Re: To "The Precious Saints Who Are No Longer Meeting With Us"

Re: Looking for Some Guidance or an Example of Others Leaving The Recovery

And the more of us “like” and subscribe to these videos, the better the chance they’ll have to get in front of the people who most need to see them. Let’s go!

Re: What is the point of control? What do they want?
